Mysterious East (Northport) and Other Curious Juxtapositions


Right next to the Twin County Driving School on Vernon Valley Road, we come upon two shopfronts where a melange of things spiritual are displayed.
The Buddah and angels, henna and belly dance.


The shop front next door is a complete puzzle. 
Lots of draperies, crystals (I think) and a sort of palaquin.


A card lies on the frozen ice of the assisted living parking lot. 
After I have photographed it, R. picks it up. 
We are disappointed to discover it is something to do with a video game.

In ABC Carpet the Virgin's Heart beats and we are blessed.

  7. Just think elizabeth - if you had left the card onthe floor you would have been intrigued by it. What a disappointment to find it was so mundane. I like to think of you roaming about NY with your camera at the ready.

  13. Walking about New York these dull days, it is very hard to find colour the way you do! I thought I spotted you in Emporium late today, but wasn't sure. I only have your tiny bio portrait to go by! MM of NY

  14. Hello Elizabeth :D
    oh..bellydance, while trying to complete an eating marathon here for Chinese N/Year, I should take up bellydancing. Love the picture of Lord Ganesha.

  15. I've never seen East Northport look so spiritual. I was there today, at the Wendy's!

  16. Wow! You had an interesting day!

  17. Meditate and belly-dance! Interesting captures, Elizabeth. Ganesha (the elephant demigod) is blessing you with good fortune---how else can you explain these excellent shots?
